Uploadcare is a file-handling platform for websites and mobile apps, covering uploads, storage, processing, and delivery. Its Upload API accepts direct, multipart, and URL uploads, and makes files available through its CDN. The platform offers URL-based image transformations, automatic optimization, responsive images, and automatic format selection. Paid plans add asynchronous video processing and document conversion. Upload sources include local files, webcams, URLs, and services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, Facebook, and Google Photos. Integrations include JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue, Webflow, Framer, WordPress, Zapier, and Make; mobile options include Swift and Kotlin SDKs and iOS and Android upload widgets. Uploadcare says it continually scans uploads for malicious files. Its security whitepaper describes TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. The Free plan includes 1 GB storage, 5 GB monthly traffic, 1,000 monthly operations, and a 500 MB file-size limit, and is for personal use. Exceeding Free usage limits temporarily suspends service until the next month. Pro costs $66 per month, billed at that listed monthly rate.
